The story of how a volcanic eruption on Crete may have inspired this enduring myth. Earth Science - Geology - Learning Points. In 1630BC, the Minoan civilisation on Crete was devastated by a 'mega tsunami'. The mega tsunami was caused by the eruption of the volcanic island Santorini. The eruption sent debris 40km into the atmosphere, which then fell into the sea. The impact of the debris created a wave the height of a skyscraper that devastated the island in seconds.
